Very strange color phenomenon - Please help!

Hello,
I just got a new iMac and moved all my software and files via firewire account transfer from my Mac Book to the new Mac. Everything works well, as expected, but when I open my Domain.sites2 File (I have iWeb08) on the iMac, a strange color phenomenon occurs: Identical colors specified for page background and placed shapes on the background look differently in iWeb, but when published, they look the same.
When I open the identical file on my Mac Book, the colors look the same (and publish the same of course). I've tried deleting the color shapes and creating them new, changing background color back and forth, but still: a color applied to the background of a page and a shape ontop of that page looks dramatically different. A purple looks intensive in the background, that same purple applied to a shape looks a lot mor pastell-ish and light, almost as if the color was converted to cmyk when applied to the shape, and left in vibrant RGB in the background.
Now this means that on the iMac in iWeb I cannot edit my site any more. I don't see what I do. If I make the colors for page background and shapes look identical in iWeb (or even specify identical color values), and publish, they look differently in the browser (I checked in multiple browsers).
I checked everthing for hidden transparency or cmyc conversion options that might be accidentally selected but can't find anything. I changed my monitor color settings, but that doesn't seem to be it, either.
What is happening to the color and why do colors on shapes look different than color in the background? Help. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Petra

Could be that monitor gamma, when calibrating the monitor, is different on old and new system.
Not that it should matter, but both browsers and iWEB handles colors in strange ways and sometimes use the Monitor color profile instead of for instance the sRGB color profile.

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

Very strange iTunes behavior, please help!

Every once in a while, I will notice a song in my library that has a time listed that I know is shorter than the song's actual length (for example, a song I know to be 5 minutes+ will be listed in the library as 1:37). When I play the song, the time adjusts to the proper time, so that is not the problem. However, if I sync my iPod, iTunes will only sync the time listed (1:37 in the example) to the iPod! It seems to be 100% random in the songs it effects and time it changes it to. Please help me out!
Edit: I also forgot to mention, it will make songs longer also, but that is not as much of a problem because it will go on the iPod, show the "longer" time and then just go to the next track once the actual music is over

Very strange itunes behaviour: please help!

OK. So I downloaded uniblue's 'speed up my PC' software which is highly unadvisable because quite apart from it having little noticeable effect, it appears to have really screwed up my itunes, albeit more in an annoying way than a disastrous way.
On attempting to open itunes I am presented with a small box (Windows Xp SP3 by the way.) which says "Importing 'iTunes Music Library.xml'..." This takes about 3-4 minutes. Then the box changes to "Organizing Files" and appears to scan through my music very quickly - about 5-10 seconds.
Then I get an error message reading: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed this file to 'iTunes Library (Damaged).itl'
So I press 'OK' (the only option) and itunes opens, and begins "creating artwork thumbnails" and "Determining gapless playback information" each of which takes aprox. 5 minutes.
While this is going on another error message appears: "The itunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1450)." Again 'OK' is the only option. This message sometimes appears multiple times.
At this point I closed down itunes, uninstalled it, defragged my hard drive, deleted the itunes file and replaced it with a backup I keep on my external hard drive, then reinstalled it.
Hallelujah! It worked fine again, opening without any problems, with all my playlist and playcount data safe. I thought I had solved my problem. However, after the third reboot itunes reverted to its old behaviour (starting from paragraph two) again. I have now been through this entire cycle about three times and am getting very fed up.
If anyone could explain to me why this is happening and how to fix it - I wouldn't be able to thankyou enough.

Praise be to Lord above! I have fixed it! And because I'm a nice guy and wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same frustration - I'm going to tell you how...
It was a problem with the registry that was causing the issue and funny old thing - uniblue's 'Registry Booster' solved the issue. It's ironic that software from the same company was used to solve the problem I know...I had almost decided to uninstall all uniblue products, but decided to run one last scan with registry booster to see what happened....So just to sum up, this is how to solve the above issue:
1. Re-create/rebuild your library as detailed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 or replace itunes folder with backup. Delete any corrupted/damaged files.
This alone should solve many issues but if you keep getting repeated corruption problems like I did then the problem seems to be within the REGISTRY.
2. To solve the registry error - I ran uniblue's 'Registry Booster' programme. I have no idea how to fix the registry manually. Sorry.

Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

How to implement drop down list in WDP Abap....very urgent...please help me

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to implement the drop down list button in the WDP Abap interactive form. Once the users clicks on the drop down button, an RFC should be called and display the details under the drop down button. Please give me the logic with code. Its very urgent...please help me. Please note that it is in WDP Abap interactive forms. We are using NW2004S, ECC6.0.

Hello,
you have to use ZCI form to use DDLB in WD-ABA. The content of the DDLB has to be present at rendering time, there is no dinamic call when you click the "dropdown".
The attribut you map to the DDLB has to be an element with a value-set, and the value set has to contain the text / value pairs.
>> this will be displayed when you click the dropdown.
Best regards,
Dezso

RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

Strange directory link, please help to remove it, thanks.

Hi All,
Today, I find two directory with the same inode number.
It is very strange, as I know that solaris 9 can't make hard link to a directory.
Could you please help to remove one of these two directory?
Thanks in advance!

There's another possibility, the "-L" option to ls(1) causes ls to follow symbolic links. I suspect someone has aliased ls to "ls -L" and that would give the results you see. try giving a full path to ls, ie "/bin/ls -lid qa_ftp ../QA" and see if that gives the same result.

Strange audio problem please help!

Hi, I was recording audio with Logic and a usb audio interface (m-audio). Then, I unplugged the usb cable and I selected to use core audio. I closed Logic. I noticed that the volume controls (up and down) are no longer available and inside sys pref. there's optical out selected (the only available). There's also a red light coming from the port (I'm assuming is the optical out). If I plug in the hearphones everything works fine. What can I do in order to have audio played from speakers again?
Please help!

Update: I followed some instructions I found on a blog and I managed to solve the problem. I inserted a paperclip inside the jack output port and I pushed it for a while. Suddenly, inside sys pref. the output changed from "optical out" to integrated output. It's very strange, anyway I think it's a good idea to go to my Apple Store to check if the soundcard has some problems... The MacBook is still under warranty so...
Any comment would be appreciated, bye!

Strange Urgent scenario please help!

Hello Friends,
I am having one strange problem in InfoCube loading.
I am loading from 0FI_GL_4 extractor to BW InfoCube with full load.
I have start routine logic in my update rules.I debugged routine several times simulated update from PSA plenty of times.
In debugging and simulation it gives expected results, but when I actually load data to InfoCube it misses some data.
Some data are not showing up in InfoCube.
Please help with your suggestions.
Thanks,
John.

Ajax,
What do you mean by key of the IS.There is no end routine as this is 3.x
Jr Roberto,
The records are cuting down in the start routine, I can see it clearly into the monitor.
But the strange thing to notice is when I debugg code for error records it gives right result and when I load actually it cuts some records.
Thanks for looking into it.

BI BEANS - Graph - How to change the color .. please help

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone please tell me how to change the color of the Graph bars or slices. I mean the color which represents the data.
For example in a pie chart I want to set specific color for specific slice. Please help.
Regards
SRT

It seems to be the SET_SERIE_COLOR() method added to the FormsGraph revised version, but this latest version is momentarily not available for download.
I think there is an existant open thread on this. Maybe you could find it using the Forum Search box.

Very frustrated with Mail, please help

Hi All,
First of all, I want to tell you that I just moved from a PC to Mac, but I am very computer savvy so I had no problems moving my emails, addresses and all that to Mail, as well as performing any other tasks on the Mac. However, I have one VERY weird problem. Please bare with me as I explain....
I have 3 (three) email accounts setup in Mail. The two of them work fine. The third one has problems receiving emails, it does NOT receive emails at all.
When I try to setup this account, I get an error that the mail server is not accessible. I thought that the mail server was offline but I still tried to access the mail server through the web access. I COULD access it. Then I tried to receive mail in Mac Mail and I got NO error messages, but I did NOT receive any of my test email messages that I sent myself on that email. I was trying to figure out what the problem was, but with no success. Then I thought I will try accessing the emails through Entourage. I was shocked when Entourage DID recieve the emails from that mail server and that email account. Well, by now I was VERY confused and frustrated. Entourage CAN access the email account, but Mail can NOT access it!??! I am using exaclty the same settings for both and still the result is the same.
I didn't know what else to do, so I called the Apple tech support. They were also confused with the issue. They escalated the issues to the engineers and they told me that the server is an Exchange server and that I should access it as such not on POP. Well , no luck again.
So, to sum it up, I can receive email from this mail account from EVERYWHERE except from Mac Mail. I can also access it from Entourage on this same computer, from the web, from a PC laptop I have, but not from Mac Mail.
PLEASE HELP!!! I don't know what to do any more. I hate to use Entourage because I just moved from a PC to a MAC and I don't want to be using the same Microsoft crap (which unfortunatelly is working properly). Any advice and suggestions are more then welcome.
BTW, I did try all of things that I read in different posts on this forum on similar issues (deleting the "mail" folder in library, etc), but none worked. I also tried uninstalling Mail and installing it again, again no luck.
HELP!
Thanks!
Alex

I have no direct experience with Exchange servers, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that for Mail to be able to communicate with one, it must be configured to allow IMAP access at the server. See the Mail help topic "Setting up your email accounts," which says in part:
"An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server."
IOW, if you can't convince the administrators that not everyone in the world uses proprietary Microsoft application "standards" (which of course exist for the good of the world & not just for MS), there isn't much you can do except use the crappy apps that Microsoft owns, along with the standards they enforce ... for the good of the world, of course. :-/
